Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius control strategy that weaponizes lifegain into table-wide mill using Hope Estheim. By pairing low-cost lifegain permanents like Soul Warden and Daxos, Blessed by the Sun with lifegain doublers such as Boon Reflection and The Wind Crystal, the deck turns every point of health into cards milled from each opponent's library on end steps. High-impact spells like Illusions of Grandeur and Heliod's Intervention generate massive single-turn life spikes, while Will, Scion of Peace converts that lifegain into enormous mana discounts. The deck also features strong alternate paths to victory, including an upkeep win with Felidar Sovereign, mill doubling via Bruvac the Grandiloquent, and explosive combat finishes through Akroma's Will and The Mindskinner. Supported by efficient removal, sweepers, and countermagic, the deck controls the board while building an insurmountable life total and depleting opposing libraries.
